Chapter 268: Chapter 268 The Arm is Broken
Inside and outside the room, four people began to bustle about.
Zhang Kaiyang looked at everyone and now, he wasn’t as nervous anymore.
Jhiang Yuan knew that Song Yi would manage the situation, so she wanted to go back to check on Xiao Nuan and her parents.
Just then, Ye Mianmian’s rope was ready, so she offered to help there first.
"Brother Song, what do we need to do?"
Song Yi asked her to fold the rope in half and then throw the two ends over to him.
In the middle, it was meant to loop around the relatively larger cement slab.
"Mianmian, you and Fan Qing come here."
"Okay."
Ye Mianmian was already there, and just as Fan Qing had finished helping Zhang Kaiyang put on his helmet, she promptly stood up as well.
The two of them were anxious not to delay Song Yi’s work, as it was now extremely cold, so much that it made their hands tremble.
"Once you’ve looped this over, check it again.
Also, take this..."
As he spoke, he passed her the ice cone, and Ye Mianmian quickly took it.
She drove the ice cone in, then levered it upwards.
Ye Mianmian moved a stool over - without it, she couldn’t reach.
"You must be gentle. If there’s any unusual movement, stop immediately, okay?"
"Mhm!"
Both nodded vigorously, fearing they might miss something.
This was about Zhang Kaiyang’s life, and it wasn’t the same as before.
Any carelessness could cause lifelong harm.
They proceeded with extreme caution while Song Yi on the other side, was holding both ends of the rope, also not daring to act too quickly.
Jhiang Yuan stood by, ready to intervene in an emergency.
Her responsibility was to monitor the situation and coordinate actions on both sides, which was crucial.
"Okay, lower it down slowly."
By now, the cement slab overhead had descended quite a bit.
Seen from the outside, a small part had already detached from its original position.
Song Yi stopped slowly and then told Jhiang Yuan to help, starting to shift the slab with difficulty.
The cement slab, reinforced with steel bars, was inconvenient to move given the limited grip.
It was a struggle for both of them, mainly because it was especially heavy; after a long effort, they only managed to move it a little.
However, they had now moved more than half of it.
Straining again, Jhiang Yuan could see Song Yi by her side, his veins bulging.
She was particularly worried he might shout out, which could bring everything crashing down on them all.
"Slower, slower..."
Finally, the slab shifted but was too heavy as it fell.
With a loud "clang," it hitting the ground was terrifying.
The material below also shifted and dropped considerably.
"Ouch!"
"What happened? Are you alright?"
Jhiang Yuan didn’t bother with pleasantries, hurrying over to check on the situation.
Zhang Kaiyang spoke calmly, without the panicked tone one might expect.
"Sister Yuan, I’m fine, don’t worry.
A small piece fell down, but luckily I was wearing a helmet, haha."
He also thought that a narrow escape from death might well bring future good fortune.
But Fan Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and covered her mouth, trying not to cry out loud.
"Hey, don’t worry, I’m not dead, Qingqing, hurry up, I’m so cold."
"Coming..."
At times like this, it was still necessary to give her something to do, otherwise she might start to overthink.
"Let’s clean up these small pieces in the middle, quickly."
"Alright..."
Four people, in pairs, were busy inside and outside the doorway.
Only after clearing up most of the debris on top could they see clearly what was below.
Zhang Kaiyang was indeed lucky, as a cement board had broken in half.
He was right at the junction, and although he was hit,
the broken board had just managed to leave a gap, offering him space to fit.
"Push this aside, and we’ll do it together...."
Jhiang Yuan and a few others moved the piece in front of them, which took herculean effort.
They had only moved it, but that was enough for a person to get out.
The other one was much easier; after tidying up the rubble, it was directly pressing down on him.
Shifting it to the side allowed the person to come out.
"How are you feeling? Gently move a bit and see if there’s any problem."
"Hiss—so painful...."
Zhang Kaiyang had become numb earlier, not knowing whether it was from the pressure or the cold.
Now that he was free, the discomfort became intense.
"Then don’t move for now...."
After Song Yi made sure the cement slab was in place and there was no danger, he then came over to check on his condition.
Given the limited conditions, they had to rely on this experienced soldier.
"It seems like my arm is broken...."
His whole body had been crushed underneath; a broken arm was a relatively minor injury.
It could have been worse; a comminuted fracture was entirely possible.
It was as if his entire body had been flattened.
In his rush to get out, he hadn’t expected to be caught off guard the moment he opened the door.
"Be careful...."
Song Yi checked him all over, ensuring there were no serious issues elsewhere before finally helping him up.
The strips of cloth from earlier could now prove useful.
"Bear with it, I’m going to set your bone using the most primitive method."
Jhiang Yuan didn’t quite understand and just saw Song Yi manipulating Zhang Kaiyang’s arm.
Then, despite evident pain, Zhang Kaiyang tried hard to restrain himself.
Fearing an accident, she reached out to hand something over.
"Sister Yuan, if you don’t help, I can’t just bite you."
Ah, she had misunderstood.
"I’m not asking you to bite me; my clothes are thick, you can bite on my clothing."
"Oh, like this!"
What’s with that expression, almost looking disappointed?
"No need, this towel is clean, let him bite on this instead."
Fan Qing took out a towel from his pocket, folded it neatly, and gave it to Zhang Kaiyang to bite on.
About twenty minutes later, it was finally done, and not at all like those scenes from movies and TV shows.
There wasn’t any loud scream and then suddenly everything was fine.
Song Yi pulled over the rope from earlier, tied it around him, using a piece of wood underneath as a splint for stabilization.
The rope slung around the neck, his technique was quite professional.
"Hurry up and pack up; we’re going to check on Liang Kang’s family next door."
Jhiang Yuan said this as she headed over.
The situation in Apartment 2001 was even worse.
Basically, they stopped bothering with the entrance, and Song Yi came over to help clear and pick up.
They finally cleared a path; the interior of this house was accessible and the entrance was unobstructed.
"Liang Kang, Xiao Ling, Jingjing, are you all okay?"
Jhiang Yuan called out a couple of times, and suddenly someone came out—it was Xiao Ling.
The two of them were a little surprised to see each other.
"Jhiang Yuan, you’re here; we’re okay, how about you?"
"We’re fine too. Can you come out?
We should leave this place quickly; the building is no longer safe."
"Okay...."
As she spoke, Liang Kang also came out, holding Jingjing; the three of them were not at all disheveled.
Their spirits were almost as usual.
Moreover, their belongings were packed and ready.
There were some items near the entrance, and the inside of the house was also a mess.
However, after all, they were safe.
First, Jingjing was handed over to Jhiang Yuan who caught her.
The crossbeam at the entrance had also fallen but had not hit anyone.
"Hey, how come none of you are injured at all?"
